Could happiness be found through the use of social media? The evolution of social media has greatly affected the mental stability of people throughout the millennial generation. “How people view us determines our happiness,” my friend, Christiana Vasquez declared when we were discussing the ideals behind the use of social media. Well, do people obtain satisfaction from thriving on social media? Christiana continued to tell me how one of her friends for the first time reached about 200 likes on Instagram,“She was running all over the dorm, screaming and jumping.” Instagram could be used for posting the special moments in life, the enhancement of one 's brand, entertainment, and much more.

I asked some of my friends, family, and a few others what their definition of happiness is. “Money,” my friend, Jack Harl proclaimed. Does money really bring one happiness? “Do you think that having money has a lot to do with survival? Being that you’re a male, and women like guys with money (depending on which female you’re dealing with in my personal opinion),” I asked him.

Well, being that I am working towards possessing a medical degree, one the hardest degrees to take on, obviously all of my classes are not going to be easy nor enjoyable. Not to mention the continuous amount of homework I have received thus far. Plus, I’m basically paying so much money just to feel tortured, so no, I am not happy. However,once I achieve my goal of becoming a physical therapist, I will have earned a lifetime of happiness. Although, it is sad saying that I have to earn my happiness. No one should have to earn happiness. Everyone deserves it. This goes to show that different factors contribute to happiness for everyone, and individuals may approach their happiness in a various
